Last weak of Apirl's 1945 Soviet Union and allies already around the Berlin and met.
Apirl 30th Hitler suicide in his Berlin Bucker and German army gave up to fight and then Karl Donitz take over the leader for German and surrendered on May 2.
May 8th know as the V-E Day-Victory in Europe Day .

Japnaese keep lossing the battle victory but they refuss to surrender to allies and continues to fight with allies also Japanese use suicide they soilder to caused the battle to allies more bloodily.

U.S. major General Curtis LeMay have to use bombing to let the Japanese surrender and already let nearly 84000 Japanese die and 270000 building loss on Tokyo
But, Japanese still want to fight even so some of the Japanese officals began to contral with Soviet Union on the June and early July.

  • V-E day - May 8th know as the Victory in Europe day after Hitler suicide himself and then the German give up the war.
  • Japan's refusal to surrender-Japanese still want to fight even somehow they keep lose the battle on the PacificOcean,Each battle they use suicide themself to hurt the U.S army.So,U.S General use bombing to make Japanese surrender.
  • Hiroshima@Nakasaka-The two place where the U.S drop atomic bomb to warn the Japanese to surrender.
  • What is your opinion of the decesion to drop the atomic bomb on Japan? Read up using the info and sites below, then wirte a paragraph explaining the debate and your opinion.
In my own opinion,if the U.S know the Japanese will surprise on the new weapon and make them surrender.i will agree to drop the atomic bomb.Because ,if you use contine to the war that are going to have same amount of the people die by the war.Why not use different ways to end the war and make it peaceful after?That's not because the Japanese start the war and you want to take revenge on them it is about to teach them how bloodily about the war when you start it.
  • V-J day-August 15 the end of the world war 2.The Japanese agree to surrender.

Truman-33th president of the United States.When he have became president he has the diffcult about to drop the atomic bomb on Japan.


G4.Home Front issues: A few other very important aspects of Americans during WWII.Define each AND give you opinion on each.
  • Rationing-limiting the amount of a certain product each person can get.Because the Victory gardens did not have all the nation's food that U.S needs after the U.S enter the war.Example:coffee,butter,sugar,and meat. I will ok with it.Because, you can help the war with the food form you also can help a lot of people on the war.
  • Paying for the war-rise taxes and borrowing Americans to supported the war by buying billions of war bonds. The money help the government pay for shipping, aircraf,and other weapon.
i deal with it because use the money to buy the war bonds and you can use it later after the war.
  • The Office of War information.Propagrana(advertising)-created by the government on June 1942-was responisble for spreading propaganda or information and ideas designed to promote a cause.Example many posters encouraged men to join military nad women take the jobs form the men. I am very fine with that.Because they just want to send the message to you what is the country need and you don't need to care about or just pay attention on it.
  • Excutives Order 9066-Japanese Interment-February 19 1942-order gave the army forces the power to establish military zones and give them the power to remove the Japanese form the western U.S. I am not ok with it.because you can't force them by some reason.
